But when Pru is cast out of the family home, under a shadow of secrets and with a young baby boy of her own to care for, it shatters little Flora. But over the years, Flora and Pru meet in secret - unbeknownst to Flora’s parents. Pru becomes the mother to Flora she never had, and Flora grows into a fine young woman. When Flora signs up to become a nurse with the St John’s ambulance, she begins to shape her life.

In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed. The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin’s enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he’s willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies. Now they face a choice: can they save the world while saving Kihrin, too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they had all sworn to destroy?

Kihrin grew up on tales of long-lost princes and grand quests - despite being raised in a brothel, making money as a musician and street thief. One day he overreaches by targeting an absent noble’s mansion, hunting for jewels. There he witnesses a prince performing a terrifying dark-magic ritual. Kihrin flees, but he’s marked by a demon, and his life will never be the same again. That night also leads to him being claimed as a lost son of that prince’s royal house. But far from living the dream, Kihrin finds himself practically a prisoner.

Kihrin D’Mon is a wanted man after killing the Emperor of Quur - and not in a good way. So he heads for Jorat, to find the fourth person named in prophesy, who will either save or damn the world. He meets Janel Theranon, who claims she already knows him. And she wants Kihrin’s help in saving Jorat’s capital from a dragon, who can be slain only with his sword’s magic. Unwittingly, Kirin also finds himself at the centre of a rebellion. One which puts him in direct opposition to Relos Var, his old enemy.

The city of Atrine lies in ruins. And now that Relos Var has revealed his plan to free the monstrous god, Vol Karoth, the end of the world is closer than ever. To buy time for humanity, Kihrin and his friends need to convince a king to perform an ancient ritual. The power released would imprison the god for an age to come. But this may come at too high a price for the King of the Vane, as the ritual would strip his people of their immortality. As a result, some will do anything to prevent this ritual - including assassinating those championing this solution....

In the heart of summer, the country swelters in a fug of heat. In the beautiful forested lake town of Sorbinowo, Sergeant Merwin Kluuge's tranquil existence is shattered when he receives a phone call from an anonymous woman. She tells him that a girl has gone missing from the summer camp of the mysterious The Pure Life, a religious sect buried deep in the woods. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is recruited to help solve the mystery.

Relos Var’s final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there’s only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath. As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the ‘pawn’ category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he’d become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land.

Anahrod lives only for survival, forging her own way through the harsh jungles of the Deep with her titan drake by her side. Even when an adventuring party saves her from capture by a local warlord, she is eager to return to her solitary life. But this is no ordinary rescue. It’s Anahrod’s past catching up with her. These cunning misfits and their frustratingly appealing dragonrider ringleader intend to spirit her away to the dragon-ruled sky cities, where they need her help to steal from a dragon’s hoard.

Kihrin, l'apprendista di un bardo, è cresciuto ascoltando storie di gesta leggendarie. Costretto a rubare per sopravvivere alla povertà dei bassifondi di Quur, una sera fa irruzione nella casa sbagliata e viene marchiato da un demone: da quel momento in avanti la sua vita non sarà più la stessa. La difficile situazione di Kihrin lo porta al cospetto dei reali, che lo rivendicano come il figlio del loro principe perduto da tempo.

Während die Dämonen durch das Empire wüten, treten die finsteren Pläne des Zauberers Relos Vars immer offener zutage. So rückt die Erfüllung der alten Prophezeiung - und damit das Ende der Welt - näher denn je zuvor. Um Zeit zu gewinnen, versucht Kihrin den König der Manol Vané zu überzeugen ein uraltes Ritual durchzuführen. Es betrifft die Unsterblichkeit dieses ganzen Volkes der Elben. Und Kihrin muss verzweifelt wahrhaben, dass er immer tiefer in die Verbindung zu dem Dämonenkönig Vol Karoth verstrickt ist.

Nachdem Kihrin D'Mon den Kaiser von Quur getötet hat, ist er selbst in höchster Gefahr. Seit er den Schellenstein zerstört und im Land Quur die Dämonen freigelassen hat, muss er vor dem Zorn eines ganzen Kaiserreichs fliehen, vor allem aber vor seinem alten Feind, dem Zauberer Relos Var. Dieser hat eines der mächtigsten Artefakte der Welt in seinem Besitz. Wenn er schafft, es zu benutzen, dann kann niemand mehr verhindern, dass der alte Zauberer sich holt, was er will. Und er will Kihrin D'Mon.

"Erzähl mir eine Geschichte." Das Ungeheuer, das ihn bewachte, machte es sich vor Kihrins Kerkerzelle bequem. "Was ist das?", fragte er. "Ein magischer Stein." "Und was kann er?" "Er hört zu." Und der Junge aus den Elendsvierteln von Quur erzählt. Er erzählt von seinem Leben als Dieb, von seinem blinden Vater und davon, wie ihn ein Prinz für seinen verloren geglaubten Sohn hielt. Er erzählt wie er am Sklavenmarkt verkauft wurde und warum er jetzt in einer düsteren Gefängniszelle sitzt, bewacht von einem Ungeheuer, das zum Plaudern aufgelegt ist.
